great article!
Great read Kno is easily my favorite sample based producer, he truly has an amazing ear for putting sounds together. I hate people who are overly proud they can play guitar and think that it takes more talent to have someone teach you how to pluck strings than it does to match up and arrange sounds from different genres and time periods. I also hate how they claim its stealing while they sit there and play hundreds of songs that other people wrote for guitar.

Good article.
The same is true with most creative pursuits. We as beatmakers/producers listen with different ears. When we listen to a track we are listening to the technical aspects of the production and assessing the techniques used. For instance an amateur Cinematographer will watch a film and be studying the camera angles used, the lighting techniques etc whereas an average audience will not notice any of this but will instead view the film as a whole.
What matters to the audience is not the technique but the end result (whether it was looped, chopped, replayed etc is entirely beside the point – if it sounds good then it sounds good.)
Why destroy a good loop with chopping for nothing more than to show how technically adept you are? An audience is not concerned with how the beat was made but whether or not it sounds good.

that was a dope article. I don't know if I've heard their beats, but the philosophy is right on.
This is some wisdom right here, this should be on the homepage of Ill in big letters....

same thing I never heard of him either.
Althought I agree with that dude, I think none of us can't deny that : you definitely feel more satisfaction when you chopped something even if it's just a little different then when you just looped something and added a drum.
But let me only say this : it's easier for a great keyboard player to learn sampling than it is for a great sampler to learn how to play the keyboard pretty good.
------------------------------
And let me add this : it's FUCKIN hard to take elements from different beats and make something out of it!!

i sample whatever the fuk i want. if people say its stealing "good" cuz im a criminal. i chop em, loop em, or leave em alone, whatever the beat needs. and i also love freaking the same ass samples that my fav. producers in the past have. in fact i love testing my production capabilities to those, just to see what i do with these sounds that this dude used.
try it sometime, see how different you are to others.
and for the whole thing about either if its dope or not, "c'mon who even has to say that, thats just the way it is" nobody likes wack shit
